Guidance for Licensees Evaluation of Criminal History (Fingerprint) Checks When a Licensee submits fingerprints to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to an NRC Order, it will receive a criminal history review, provided in federal records, since the individuals eighteenth birthday. The Licensee will receive the information from the criminal history check of those individuals requiring unescorted access as defined in the associated Order, and the NRC-approved reviewing official should evaluate that information using the guidance below. Furthermore, the requirements of all Orders and regulations, which apply to the unescorted access is being granted must be met.
The Licensees reviewing official is required to evaluate all available information in making a determination of unescorted access, including the criminal history record information pertaining to the individual as required by the NRC Order. The criminal history records check is used in the determination of whether the individual has a record of criminal activity that indicates that the individual should not have unescorted access as defined in the associated Order. Each determination of unescorted access, which includes a review of criminal history information, must be documented to include the basis for the decision made.
(i)
When negative information is discovered that was not provided by the individual, or which is different in any material respect from the information provided by the individual, this information should be considered, and actions taken based on these findings should be documented.
(ii)
A record containing a pattern of behaviors which indicates that the behaviors could be expected to recur or continue, or recent behaviors which cast questions on whether an individual should have unescorted access in accordance with the associated Order, should be carefully evaluated prior to any authorization of unescorted access.
It is necessary for a Licensee to resubmit fingerprints only under two conditions:
1)
The FBI has determined that the fingerprints cannot be classified due to poor quality in the mechanics of taking the initial impressions; or, 2)
The initial submission has been lost.
If the FBI advises the fingerprints are unclassifiable based on conditions other than poor quality, the licensee must submit a request to NRC for alternatives. When those search results are received from the FBI, no further search is necessary.
